Schneider and Duckworth denounce Hobby Lobby decision

Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) is very upset about the U.S. Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision and now is asking those who agree with him to sign a petition in protest.

Most online people realize a petition is simply a ploy to build a database for the November election, but Schneider's outreach on the topic clearly affirms he is more concerned about protecting government-funded birth control than protecting his constituents' religious freedoms.

The same is true of his colleague Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth in the 8th CD, who is also promoting the same petition.

Schneider's 10th CD Republican opponent Robert Dold was not available to respond.

Schneider's email:

#... this is seriously troubling.

Last week, in a 5-4 blatantly partisan decision, the Supreme Court gave some employers the authority to dictate women's healthcare choices.

#, corporate bosses have no right to force their religious beliefs on workers, period.
